Arcangelo won the $1.25 million Travers by a length at Saratoga on Saturday, giving trainer Jena Antonucci her second major Grade 1 victory after the colt won the Belmont Stakes. “I guess the more this horse does, the more we’re going to keep writing some history,” Antonucci said. The day was marred by the deaths of two horses, including New York Thunder in the $500,000 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial.
A sweeping five-wide move into the stretch propelled Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Arangelo to victory in the $1.25-million Travers (G1) on Saturday at Saratoga Racecourse, where he left fellow classic winners Mage and National Treasure as well as reigning champion 2-year-old male Forte in his wake.
